Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plant for continuous casting of metal strip and more precisely it relates to a plant provided with automated means for assembling or replacing some of its parts.
  • EP-A-947261 describes a "strip casting" plant in which the cooled rolls constituting the ingot mould are mounted on a mobile trolley between a first position, below the casting plane, and a second position on the casting plane.
  • This document describes the means for mounting the rolls on the trolley and the means for adjusting them; no details on the other components are given, such as the tundish and the unloader, in particular regarding their preheating and their transportation from the heating station to that of the casting.
  • the Japanese published patent application JP-A-6-335753 describes a "strip casting" plant in which the rolls constituting the ingot mould are changed, in case of necessity, by means of a bridge crane.
  • a continuous casting plant of a metallic strip comprising a casting plane, a casting station and a plurality of further stations substantially separated from said casting station and, in said casting station, a mobile ingot mould comprising two cylindrical, cooled, counter-rotating rolls and two plates each of which is set at the ends of said rolls, to close at the sides of said rolls the space between them, said rolls defining, between their respective facing surfaces, a space inside which molten metal is cast and solidifies upon contact with the surface of said rolls and is then extracted from below as a hot metal strip, and said continuous casting plant further comprising a plurality of further component elements, treatment stations for said additional component elements, and moving means for moving each of said additional component elements, wherein said treatment stations
  • Said additional component elements moved by rotating arms are: a ladle, at least one tundish and/or at least one under-tundish, and/or at least one molten metal distributor within said space between counter-rotating rolls, and/or the two side plates which rest at the flat ends of said rolls, to laterally close the space between the rolls.
  • Said turrets are each provided with two arms, one suitable to move the tundish and the other one suitable to move the under-tundish from the respective treatment stations (maintenance, preheating, ...), arranged near to the turrets within the reach of said arms, and the casting station.
  • the additional turrets carry robotic arms for moving said molten metal distributor, and said lateral plates of the respective treatment stations (maintenance, preheating, ...) to the casting station; they are located nearby the casting station, on a plane parallel to that containing the cast strip.
  • the casting rolls are arranged within a trolley which can move trasversally to the direction of casting between a treatment position (maintenance, mounting, regulation, ...) and the casting station, said trolley being provided with means to set and hold in position the rolls and to regulate their gap with the aim of controlling the thickness of the cast strip.
  • the motor necessary to set the rolls in rotation during casting is fixed on the casting plane and is automatically coupled to the system located on the trolley for the synchronous rotation of the rolls.
  • the casting plane is also provided with a rail, parallel to the axis of rotation of the rolls, on which said trolley moves between the casting station and a treatment station for the rolls (maintenance, mounting on the trolley, adjusting the mutual positions, ).
  • the casting plane also carries a tower (ladle tower) to put the ladle in the casting station, preferably arranged in a central position with respect to the turret for the movement of the tundish and under-tundish.
  • a tower ladle tower
  • tundish and under-tundish, metal distributor and side plates are all in their respective preheating positions near to the turrets for their moving.
  • the casting rolls, arranged on a mobile trolley are in their treatment station, which comprises means for moving the trolley from the position of mounting of the rolls to a standby position.
  • Such means of movement can consist of a carriage containing two trolleys, one ready to be sent to the casting station and the other waiting to be sent to the position for mounting and adjusting the rolls.
  • molten metal is loaded into the ladle, which is transported nearby the ladle tower, held by an appropriate arm of the latter and carried to the casting station.
  • the tundish and possibly the under- tundish are set in their positions in the casting station, each moved by one of the arms of said tundish rotating towers; it is to note that for greater flexibility of use and to overcome possible mechanical inconveniences, the tundish and under-tundish to be placed in the casting station can be moved by the respective arms of the same turret or a tundish by one turret and an under-tundish by another. Whilst the tundish is being filled with molten metal from the ladle, first the distributor and then the containment plates are brought to the casting station. Immediately afterwards, it is possible to begin the casting.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a partially sectional side view of a plant according to the present invention.
  • FIG 2 schematically shows a plan view of the plant of Figure 1.
  • a ladle 1 is shown in working position and communicating with a tundish 3 through an unloader 2; from the tundish 3 the molten metal passes, with a flow controlled by the rod 4, or through a slide gate or slide valve or other equivalent device, through the chamber 5, which protects the metal cast from oxidation, within an optional under-tundish, not shown, or directly into a distributor 7.
  • the plug rod can be replaced with other suitable means, for example a sliding gate nozzle ladle.
  • the molten metal which flows inside the distributor unloader 7 is distributed within the space existing between the two rolls 8, 8', arranged in the container trolley 9 sliding on rails.

  • a mechanical robotic arm 13 is also arranged which moves the distributor unloader 7, and side plates of known type, and not shown in the figures, from the respective heating positions to the casting positions.
  • the ladle turret 17 has two arms in line, one of which carries the ladle 1 to the casting station 25, whilst the other arm hold a ladle 1 ' in standby.
  • the turret 10 has an arm 12 which in its turn supports a tundish, not shown in this plan view, in the casting station, whilst the other arm 11 supports the under-tundish 6 heating in the station 21.
